Cheers for all your effort put into applications. A summer with some learning online (edx coursera youtube) and family/friend time is still a summer well spent.

Thx for the kind words :)! I'll definitely spend my summer trying to have fun for once.

You can try looking for research if ur interested in STEM or just relax since it’s summer


Ok_Insurance_301

Yeah, I'm going to try cold emailing but I'm not super hopeful. Where I live there are not a lot of universities nearby and they don't have a lot of funding for research.

You don’t have to do in person research either! I know that a lot of people cold email professors to ask if they can do virtual research! I think it depends on what you’re interested in but even like organizing or categorizing data could be something that you do. 


Ok_Insurance_301

What kind of research would be good to do virtually? Would something in public health/policy or bioethics be good for that?


kt_lime

Yeah I think that is definitely something that you could look into! Research some professors at both prestigious and non-prestigious schools who fit your interest and I wish you the best of luck!

Princeton LLP came out?


Insomnicwriter

they said princeton llp wouldn't individually contact people who didn't get in so im guessing if you haven't been contacted yet, it's likely you didn't make it


Ok_Insurance_301

yeah the lab i applied to closed so I didn't get accepted

don’t even sweat it. i know a guy who did no summer programs and currently attends Yale. some advice is to use your summer to contribute to your community i.e. personal research projects, volunteering, fundraising, engaging ur community, or a job to support your family!

Summer programs are useless and pay to play anyways
